First staged at The NEC in 1978, the show keeps getting bigger and bigger. Showcasing the host of new and exciting models on offer, it highlights the great public interest in the automotive industry. The previous Motor Show, held in 1998, attracted 710,000 visitors. It's a far cry from the 10,000 visitors who attended the first show organised by the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders)

The NEC Arena is renowned for its blockbusting concerts and sporting events. From Pavarotti to Prince, Shirley Bassey to Boyzone - a huge range of entertainers have performed to more than ten million music lovers since the 12,000-seat arena opened. The arena is also the scene of major sporting events, including the World Figure Skating Championships in 1995 and the World Gymnastics Championships in 1993.
